Tear Troughs in Jacksonville, FL

What are Tear Troughs?

The area between your lower eyelid and upper cheek is known as your Tear Trough. The Tear Trough are lines that are underneath the lower eyelids which give patients a hollow, sunken or dark circle appearance. As we get older, this changes in appearance; it becomes longer, deeper and more shadowed. The soft tissue in our cheek area loses volume as we get older, but may also be genetic. The appearance of deep, dark circles or tear troughs may be caused by other factors including lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, dehydration and weight loss.
